Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What does “12G vessel acceleration” mean for a passenger seat?
A: This is a critical safety certification for seats on high-speed craft. “12G” means the seat and its attachment to the deck are designed and tested to withstand an acceleration force of 12 times the force of gravity without failing. This simulates the forces experienced during a high-speed impact or sudden deceleration, ensuring the seat remains securely anchored to protect passengers.

Q2: Is the TRA-03 suitable for both high-speed ferries and conventional vessels?
A: Yes. The TRA-03 is versatile. Its robust 12G-rated construction makes it ideal for high-speed craft (where safety standards are most stringent), while its comfortable high-back design and durable aluminum construction also make it an excellent choice for conventional passenger ferries, crew boats, and workboats.

Q3: What flame retardancy standards do the upholstery materials meet?
A: All materials used for upholstery—including fabric, synthetic leather, and genuine leather—are approved and certified to meet international marine fire safety standards. This typically includes testing for resistance to cigarette ignition, match flame ignition, and spread of flame, ensuring compliance with SOLAS and other maritime regulations.

Q4: How are the seats installed, and what do we need to provide?
A: The seats are installed using a track mounting system. We provide the tracks. The shipyard or installer is responsible for securing the tracks to the deck using appropriate rivets or bolts (not supplied by TRASEA). The seat legs then bolt directly onto the installed tracks. This method provides a strong, secure, and easily adjustable foundation.

Q5: Can you customize the seat configuration or add our company logo?
A: Yes, absolutely. We offer extensive customization options. We can manufacture seats in various row configurations (singles, doubles, etc.) to match your vessel’s GA. We can also add your company logo to the seat backs or headrests, integrate cup holders, snack tables, seat belts, and other accessories to meet your specific operational requirements.
